While its name might point to a mostly-abandoned push into the metaverse, Meta’s found itself in the midst of a wearable revolution, thanks to both its smart glasses partnership with Ray-Ban and, of course, the Quest lineup of VR headsets. Now, several years after initially cancelling its first-ever smartwatch, Meta might be looking to give wrist-based gadgets another go.

Google is rolling out the latest updates for the Fitbit Versa 4, Sense 2, Inspire 3, and Charge 6, which sees the biggest updates today.

As announced in May, Google has given its default QR code scanner on Android an appreciable redesign.

According to a new report, Google Pixel has settled into a #4 slot in the US smartphone market ahead of the Pixel 10 launch, though growth has cooled off a bit.

Google has confirmed that its Android Earthquake Alerts system experienced issues in the wake of the 2023 earthquake that rocked Turkey and nearby regions.

Following the Pixel Launcher shortcut, you can now add AI Mode to the Google Search homescreen widget on any Android device.

It’s a bad time to be an S Pen fan — or, at least, that’s what Samsung’s not-so-quietly communicating to one of its most devoted bases. The company that practically invented the “phablet” has spent 2025 trying to leave behind (or, at the very least, downplay) one of the very things that brought it success in the first place. I’m worried the writing is on the wall for the S Pen, and it’s only going to grow bleaker from here.

It’s no secret at this point that the Pixel 10 series is not going to be a massive upgrade, but with that in mind, leaks point towards it being perhaps the best kind of subtle upgrade. Here’s why.

With just over three weeks before Made by Google 2025, the Pixel Watch 3 is receiving what should be its last discount before the replacement launches.

Like on Android phones, Google Messages is testing a straightforward M3 Expressive redesign on Wear OS.

Samsung has delivered a revamped DeX experience in One UI 8 based on Android 16’s new desktop mode and, while most functionality is there, you might find some little tidbits that are different.

Welcome to episode 63 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, the Pixel leaks start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’, as we break down the massive amount of Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4 leaks that continue to fall into our lap. Come for the conversation on which colors are doing it for us — and which aren’t — and stay for the breakdown on why the Pixel 10 series just might arrive with Qi2 built-in. Plus, what’s the deal with foldables, and is the Pixel Watch 4’s new charger ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome?

In a new interview, Samsung’s Won-Joon Choi has commented on how Samsung will stay ahead when Apple releases its first foldable, as well as discussing…

The idea of a foldable phone, still, several years in, feels like a novel one. As new releases have hit the market, they’ve continually improved and addressed some of the biggest complaints. That’s all led to today, where the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is not only a massive improvement over what came before, but also just flat out the best foldable phone that most people can buy today, begging the question of whether or not the Fold 7 is enough to make you want to buy a foldable.

Earlier this year, Google announced it was discontinuing the Nest Protect. The intended smoke and carbon monoxide alarm replacement from First Alert is now listed on the US and Canadian Google Store.

The “Pebble” name is officially back, as the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 smartwatches that were going to act as a reboot for the experience are now officially called the Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2*.

We have around a month until Google—hopefully—wows us with new smartphones. On the surface, things look very similar. However, whether you are interested in the Pixel 10 or not, before buying anything else, you should probably wait a little while longer to see just what we get.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is remarkably thin and, as it turns out, Samsung may have undersold it as the device is actually 8.82mm thick in a recent measurement of foldables, where Honor’s “world’s slimmest” device was thicker than expected.
